I believe meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves—the relationships and circumstances that shape our lives. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my approach is grounded in Bowen Family Systems Theory, which helps clients develop greater emotional maturity, strengthen relationships, and respond more thoughtfully to life’s challenges.

 

I work with both men and women and have a particular interest in men’s mental health. Many men carry significant responsibilities in their families, relationships, and careers while finding it difficult to recognize, express, or seek help for emotional concerns. I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where men can address depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, self-

confidence, and other challenges.

 

I am also EMDR trained and work with adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, or trauma, as well as those facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, physiological disease, or chronic injury. My previous 25-year career as a registered nurse gives me a unique perspective on the connection between physical and emotional well-being.

 

For couples, I help clients better understand the patterns that contribute to conflict, disconnection, and feeling stuck. I work with couples experiencing relationship difficulties, trust violations and the aftermath of affairs, helping them develop a clearer understanding of themselves and their relationship rather than simply focusing on who is at fault. I also provide parent coaching to help parents better

understand family dynamics and respond more effectively to the challenges of parenting.

 

My goal is not simply to help you feel better, but to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the emotional systems in which you live. From that foundation, lasting change becomes more possible.

 

I provide counseling in Cedar Park and Southwest Austin and would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, and a more fulfilling life.
